FICON commands

NOTE
The Fabric OS CLI supports only a subset of the Brocade management features for FICON fabrics.
The full set of FICON CUP administrative procedures is available using the Brocade Network Advisor
and Web Tools software features. You can also use an SNMP agent and the FICON Management
Information Base (MIB).

The table below summarizes the Fabric OS CLI commands that can be used for managing FICON
fabrics. For detailed information on these commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.
